This is a follow up to an earlier mix Leaving the Station, which had a train theme. I had several people ask if I was planning on a follow up and, well, here it is.

My favorite track in this mix is El Divisadero by Chris Watson from his wonderful field recording album, El Tren Fantasma. I've used this track before but it's so awesome I just had to use it here.

Another track in this mix that I've used before is Dialing in the Sun by Paul Ellis. It's an excellent berlin school cut that has this great clicky-clack sound that works perfectly here.

The rest of the mix is a collection of old(Richard Pinhas) and new(Andy Stott) cuts.

On a side note, I don't know if anyone has noticed but embedded in each mp3 for download is the mix tracklist. So if you're playing it on your phone or on some pc players, you should be able to see the tracklist when the mix is playing.

Other mixes coming soon, or maybe I should say sometime this year, a sort of jazz mix, a new age massage mix, a sci fi mix, a dubby mix, a space rock mix, guest mixes and many more I haven't even thought of yet.

Sometimes I go through phases of music listening. I'll listen to a bunch of old prog rock for two weeks then move on. I pull out some old Cantebury Scene stuff from the 70s for awhile. Then I'll go on an early 80s new wave binge. Then Americana. Then ECM jazz.

This mix came out one such binge. I've been listening to a lot of Jean Michel Jarre & Tangerine Dream lately. Jean Michel Jarre was a college favorite of mine. My girlfriend in college loved JMJ. Which is probably why I married her - how many college girls like Jean Michel Jarre?!

While bingeing on JMJ & TD I knew that I wanted to use them in a mix and the train theme just seemed to flow naturally from there. So the first two JMJ tunes I chose specifically because of the train sounds in them. I think I'd like to do another berlin school mix with all artists and music from the 1970s.
